We had to throw away quite a lot of food because the fridge wasn't working.

Kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were all very comfy! The only slight niggles were the lack of a handheld shower, which made washing the kids hair a bit tricky in the bath. Also, if you have a large car itâs really hard to get the right angle to reverse off the drive and then you need to turn around to pull onto the main road, not a huge problem if you have cameras/parking sensors but worth noting. All in all we had a fabulous stay and weâd definitely come back again!
